Synopsis

Jerry Cooper is The Dogwalker, a Tom Sawyer grown up for the nineties, who having fallen on hard times, is struggling with the reality of having to sleep in his car. When he quite literally stumbles upon an old lady and her dog, he suddenly finds himself caught up in her life and over her head in a twisted mix of class, race, age, sex, drugs, dog leashes, inheritances and contract bridge.

Critics' reviews

"A well-made but emotionally scattered film whose hero gives his heart only to the dog."

Chuck Wilson: LA Weekly
"This is, after all, a film in which no one leads life according to script -- but, then, that's also the reason it works."

Manohla Dargis: Los Angeles Times
